#same tbh #mswl

So my #MSWL would be a book where one of the characters have a chronic illness (like diabetes) but not where the plot is all about them having the illness. It’s just a character trait & sometimes you have to deal with it but mostly you just live & love & have GMC unrelated to it.

I have a heavy focus on #Latinx stories/voices for obvious reasons BUT that doesn't mean I'm not interested in other groups/cultures. I want to support underrepresented voices getting a seat at the publishing table & welcome these stories in all the genres I happen to rep. #MSWL

I'm open to all things #LGBTQ+, but beyond m/m, f/f pairings I want to see stories about people from all rows of the spectrum. Bi, pan, demi, ace, trans, there are so many stories to be told about love and identity here.

#MSWL

In SFF, I love a kickass heroine doing kickass things. I want to see a diverse group of people (in a multicultural/gender/sexuality sense) coming together to fight whatever BIG BAD there is. While High Fantasy isn't a good fit, pretty much everything else is.

#MSWL

I know summer is over (sob!) but I'm still looking for that summer vacation love story. It could take place at the beach or lake or in an exotic city, but I want something where there are real stakes involved with what happens when summer ends. (YA/Adult)

#MSWL

I'd also love to see some #Caribbean/#Latinx post-Hurricane Irma/Maria stories, stories that tackle the issues head-on but in a hopeful way, with a romance or personal growth for the main characters. Also YA or Adult.

#MSWL

Ok, now the good stuff:

Give me all the #Latinx stories. But a specific one I'd really like to see is one set in PR during the governor protests in OSJ, I'm thinking enemies-to-lovers. Could be YA or Adult.

3. I am reopening to unsolicited queries on OCTOBER 1, 2019. All queries received before JUNE 1, 2019 have been responded to. If you didn't get a response or queried after June 1st, then you will need to requery.

4. If I have your submission, I'm still reading. I promise. #MSWL

It's #MSWL day & since I'm reopening to queries in a WEEK (eep!) I thought it would be a great idea to go over what I want to see in my inbox.

Caveat: These are things I want to see, but there are definitely things I haven't thought of, so if you think I will like it query me!!

Seriously #mswl any #romance that can comp this relationship.

Also, authors, I’ve updated my #MSWL in advance of opening back up to queries in October. I have expanded my genres to include adult SFF and updated my submission guidelines. I’m including the link to make your research life easier. 😊

QUERY UPDATE: You guys, I'm down to 0 unread queries! If you sent a query before June 1st & haven't heard from me, something got lost somewhere. I plan to re-open to unsolicited queries on October 1st. My #MSWL has been updated & new instructions will be posted so pay attention!

I want more #Latinx everything, but this is a good start. #MSWL

Seriously, this is totally a fit for my #MSWL

My #MSWL tweets were unthreaded because they were scheduled, so I've collected them here in this handy #moment.

Those are my top 5 #MSWL wants, but the list isn't exhaustive.

Also don't forget to follow submission guidelines, they are listed on my #MSWL page and the agency website.

5. It's April and it's still freezing in Upstate NY, so I want to see your #SummerLoving romances in both #YA and #Adult. Set at the beach, at the lake, in an exotic city, I want to see those stories that find two people struggling against what happens when summer ends. #MSWL

4. A #YA #contemporary that is atmospheric a la RIVERDALE and blends mystery and romance in just the right way. I want to get the #creeps as well as #allthefeels. #MSWL

3. I really want to see more #romanticsuspense. Heart-pounding thrillers with high stakes. I want to see strong women partnering up with strong men to save the day together. No damsels in distress. #MSWL
